TUBEROUS ROOT CO BEGONIAS. 
•Tuberous Rooted Begonias. 
The tuberous rooted Begonias are amontr the most beauti¬ 
ful and desirable of all bulbous plants. We have both dou- 
ble and single flowered sorts and many fine colors, all of 
which are bright aud pleasing. As summer flowering bulbs 
in t he garden thev are not always a success unless planted in 
partial shade, and protected from severe winds and storms, 
in such a situation they are likely to give unbounded satis¬ 
faction. They do exceedingly well if planted in cold frames, 
which can be partly covered with shaded glass. They are, 
however, grown most commonly as pot plants either iii con¬ 
servatories or windows or on protected verandas. As pot 
plants for summer blooming few bulbs except the Gloxinia, 
which can lie treated in exactly the same wav, will prove so 
satisfactory. The bulbs can be potted in April, May or June, 
in good rich soil, and growth and bloom will commence al¬ 
most immediately and their profusion of bloom during the 
summer will be surprising if they continue in a healthy con- 
dit Ion. When the foliage dies down in September or ( )ctober 
they should be set away in a warm, dry place to remain until 
planting time the following spring. Our strain of both dou¬ 
ble and single is superb, and must not In* judged by ordinary 
bulbs. Those who plant our Begonia bulbs will be astonished 
at the great size and brilliancy of the flowers.

A Grand Summer Bloomer. 
A now species ot Hyacinth whicli blooms during August 
and September, grows three to live feet high, with spikes of 
pure white flowers two feet or over in length. Tins grand 
plant was introduced a few years since, and its great value 
is being more aud more appreciated. The bulbs are large, 
round and solid, and throw up strong flower stems three to 
five feet high, which arcagigantiespikoof bcH-shapcd white 
blossoms. Planted in the spring they bloom in August, Sep¬ 
tember and October, strong bulbs producing t wo, three and 
even four flower stems. They are perfectly hardy aud can 
be left in the ground over winter, or if preferred, they can 
be lifted in tlie fall, and like <: ladiolus, kept dry until spring. 
A bed of a dozen or more bulbs produces a grand effect. A 
few planted in the center of a bed of Verbenas, Petunias or 
other flowers, make a beautiful display. Planted anywhere, 
singly or in clumps, they are magnificent For u cemetery 
nothing can be more beautiful or appropriate, and nothing 
thrives better in any situation or is surer to bloom. We have 
sold them for four years, and wherever they have gone they 
have created a perfect sensation, being so beautiful anil 
unlike anything else in cultivation. We have the largest 
stock of these bulbs in America, aud offer them at extremely 
low prices.
